    Haven’t been following Blue sky stuff at all. Any reason to use this over mastodon?

      Celebrities, politicians and businesses will be more likely to show up on the platform, if that’s your jam.

        Ah gotcha. I’m kind of enjoying just hanging with regular people being regular on mastodon. Probably check out bluesky at some point.

        Thanks for the info!
